OS/2 and tcp/ip network drives

We are continually having problems running a bulletin board with HyperAccess for Windows, even on a 2000 server, whereas we used to use HyperAccess for OS/2. It worked great, but we needed to be able to access shared network drives on our tcp/ip network, and were unable to do so from the OS/2 Warp 4 machine. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how to go about doing so? The scenario would be relatively simple: get a pc, install Warp 4, install a 3Com 10/100 PCI nic, install HyperAccess for OS/2, connect to the network folder and point HyperAccess at subfolders of that network folder...

If you are running OS/2 in a Windows network, you need to install TCP/IP, the OS/2 File and Print Client, and NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

There is a very good How-To called "Surviving with OS/2 Warp in a Sea of Windows". This works with Win9x, NT and 2000.

Hope that's what you need ...
